I have questions about the class videos.

Are there system requirements to view the classes?
If your computer system was manufactured in the past few years, you should be set-up to view the classes. We do recommend making sure your browser is up-to-date, whether you use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or others, as that will help ensure your experience is superb.

Can I view the classes if I have dial-up Internet?
If you can successfully view other videos online, then your dial-up connection should be adequate. We do not recommend this access speed for an optimal experience, unfortunately.

Can I access the classes from my mobile device?
You can access your purchased classes from any mobile device, both tablet and non-tablet (phones, iPod Touch, etc.) but our classes are best viewed on tablets or computers.

I am having difficulties with the stitch guide videos.
The stitch guide videos on AnniesCatalog.com are here to help you learn or perfect a stitching technique. Our stitch guide videos are available in QuickTime or Flash format, depending upon the video. Windows Media Player will not work with our stitch guide videos, typically.
